old two bricks f? Maybe, two old bricks f?

Don't sweat the dust - just identify it as historical dust from the 18th Century.

Thanks for sharing your magical home - it is lovely.

I've read about the rent controlled places, and from time to time our commie city leaders here try to bring it up, just like they're off on a "living wage" rampage right now, but if governments would just let the markets work freely, everyone would be so much better off.

Since moving west, I imagine that you can see your old landlord's point of view with his property. While "helping" you with your rent, the government at the same time was screwing the owner out of thousands of dollars over the years - where is his motivation to keep things in tip-top shape for his tenants if he can't get market rates for the unit?

I wonder if he got a break on his property taxes for having rent-controlled units, or did he get screwed there also? Nothing screws up so badly as liberals with "noble" plans and schemes for the little people - us, who have to foot the bill each and every time.

If it's really a good idea, some entrepeneur will come up with the way to make it happen, and make money at the same time. /rant. ;-)

Right you are my little pigeon. Yr.Captn's been taking pics of some interesting equipment. Now I don't want you to get too excited - but you can tell the guys you hang around with that you know why I am the Captain and they are scurvy crew.
